Fantastic weekend!

Martine and i just spend a fantastic weekend @ Anita.We had a really great time and a lot of laughs.Here is an example of the styles we did.Anita thank you so much for the great time,you are amazing.You can find Anita's website here.Check her out,her work is mind blowing!

Sewing maniac :)

I was so excited to play with the digital stuff from Sausan Designs that i couldn't wait to get home and create something.My mom let me use her printer to print some amazing "hybrid" embellishments and papers.(Thanks mommy!)

Since i couldn't scrapbook last week because of my wrist,i wasn't able to create a layout for the new inspired by Amelie challenge.I was totally bummed about that,but i was in REAL pain!!

I am happy that it's over now!Turned out...i over used my wrist LOL I gave it some rest the last couple of day's.So now i can scrapbook again!Just have to make sure i don't over use it again! :)

So this layout is for the Amelie blog using only Sausan Designs stuff!(Besides the paint and thickers) :) As you might see i went a little crazy with the stitching.My sewing machine must hate me!What can i say...i just love MESSY!

I made another page using the fairy pictures from my friend Larissa.(and making another one tonight!)I seriously can't get enough of these pictures!Not to mention that she is wearing my favorite color dress.This new Prima stuff is to die for!Seriously i love it all!Especially those pearls,wow!What do you think of my handmade flowers??I think they are kinda cute!! :)Remembered i had a little TOOT to share?Well i am one of the new girls for the challenge blog "The story matters".I realised i need to focus more on my journaling,and i really think this challenge blog will help me to improve that.So i am looking forward to work with these fun girls and enjoy the challenges.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter!We had a great weekend with lot's of food and family time.We were also celebrating Jack's(My mom's husband) his b-day,and it was great.My mom made this really cool Mario cake and it was delicious.Hop over to her blog Contagious to see how it looked.Cool huh?

Somehow i ended up hosting the next Dutch SIStv crop.Fun!This means you all need to come to this amazing event,and spend time with me and all the other SISters.It's going to be spectacular,i am going to make sure it is!I have been to the previous Dutch SIS crops and the atmosphere was amazing,great fibe!So don't be nervous,and come over and chat with us on the Dutch SIStv crop thread here.Would love to see you there!!

I'll be back soon!Happy scrapping :)

I am off to the doctor for my wrist,will update soon.Happy Scrapping!

Little Fairy

For my sweet friend Larissa.Her daughter is a beautiful little fairy and i just needed to scrap this picture.Used some of my favorite colors,gesso,sewing machine and more.

Journaling:

Oh little fairy wont you come out

Oh little fairy i do want to see thee.

Oh little fairy i wont pester thee

and i will wait till you come out for me.

M.Heverly

Ouch!

So i don't know exactly what it is that i have...But i have this pain in my wrist that has been killing me!!Going to make an apointment with the doctor tomorrow,because this pain kept me up all night.I was hoping it would go away,but it is getting worse!Maybe some kind of infection??It's my left wrist,so it's not from Ebay browsing all day :)

Made a layout yesterday evening(before the REAL pain started!!)for Angie Delarie.It's called Rock on! and enjoy...inspired by my "Model" layout.I used the handsign chipboard from Angie,her products are awesome!!

I went to the Art Specially event last weekend together with Martine.We had a great time!The event was fun,but we couldn't really find the scrapbook stuff we were looking for.There was more stamp stuff then scrapbooking stuff.And ofcourse we were nagging,because we were looking for particular things...So when we were waiting for the car to drive us back to the station,we saw a friend of my who was going to the new store from Papers&Pictures.She asked us to ride along with her,and ofcourse we said yes!!Thank you so much Irene,you are the best!!!The store was beautiful and had A LOT of products.Including some things we NEEDED,like the New Prima line Mommy&Me.I already bought the beautiful ribbons at ScrapDelight,which made me SO happy.I just love those cute little animals!!!
And ofcourse some Melissa Frances and Prima for my Shabby Chic thing.I am working on a Fairy layout for my friend Larissa,and i love how it's turning out.Will show it soon!!

I also have a new TOOT,which i will share in my next post.Did i tell you that i love Scrapbooking again?I really do,and i am so happy i am enjoying it to the fullest again.

My mom made these new cupcakes that i just LOVE!They look so good.If i could only try them all...Well it's probably better that i don't!! :)A fewday's ago we watched the "new" movie Bolt.My boy's liked it A LOT!Especially Julian.I thought it was okay...I prefer Tinkerbell :)

Be back soon,Happy Scrapping!

HOT HOT HOT!

Seriously,why does everything always have to be extreme in Holland?Talking about the weather here...Seriously it was HOT today!And that after a week of rain rain and more rain.I saw kids playing in swimming pools.Not sure if it was THAT hot,but maybe it was,cause i was really dying outside.I just can't stand it when it's so hot.On the other hand i hate the rain...So yeah i am a complainer...But seriously it's Spring!!It's supposed to be nice and sunny with a light brease...Not hiding inside,away from the sun!LOL

Well enough about the weather.I finished two layouts i started last weekend,yay!

Life can be Enchanted.Well my life has been crap for a long time(still is now and then...),but i like to keep it possitive.I made this "fairytale" layout,to remind me that life CAN be Enchanted.(I need a lot of reminders)Just have to focus more on the little things.I used one of the Angie Delarie Cinderella tags on this.This one is about my brother and his girlfriend.They were here,together in 2008.So if someone finds my scrapbook in 2200 they would know "they" were here in 2008...Makes any sense,no?Hmmm okay moving on.(freakshow...)

Julian and i made homemade cookies.Well i am not a really good baker(like my mom),but they turned out fine.Not better then the store bought ones,but good for a first timer!Atleast we enjoyed ourself yesterday! :)My mom also started a blog.It's called contagious,for her (cup) cake addiction.She is really good!

I have a TOOT coming up,fun fun fun.Waiting for permission to share!So i'll be back...

HappyScrapping!

A productive weekend indeed!!+TOOT

My crop weekend at Martine turned out quite productive!We often end up chatting the whole evening,but we actually did some scrapbooking this time!It's always fun to see how different our styles are.Which is strange,since we like the same stuff!I will show you three layouts now,and some more later this week.Gotta save some eyecandy!


These pictures are some of my favorites from Julian.I love the vintage look it has,and that cap...i just love it!I used the title Nature Boy,inspired by the song from Nat King Cole.Such a beautiful song!I am still in doubt if i should some of the lyrics as my journaling...Maybe i'll add it later.This is one of my "just do it" pages...I burned my paper,used aluminum foil,teared kraft paper from an envelop etc.(Thanks Martine!)You know...A have fun page!!I simply can't get enough of this color combo too.And a kiddy page for Maxim.These are kinda hard for me,but i like how it turned out.And i used one of those Jolee stickers...WOW,somebody call the newspaper!!I never use Jolee's,they are just so hard to use.I think they are super cute though...And it's a Disney page.I believe you can use anything you like on a Disney page :)I also have two TOOTS to share.One of my layouts is going to get published in an Australian magazine,and two of my layouts in an American magazine.I won't spoil everything jet,but i will share everything with you when the magazines arrive :)

Martine took some pictures from me while i was staying at her place,and they turned out really cool.Atleast i like them...Now i can't wait to see the ones i took from her!! This is my fave!Gotta love the attitude :)Not a real flattering outfit,but oh well :)


Thanks for looking everyone,happy scrapping!

I Love Bam Pop!

So the people who have been following my blog,know that i have been a Bam Pop! fan for a long time!I loved their stuff from the beginning.So i thought it was time to make an ode to my favorite Scrapbook company.Hope they like it!!
I'm going to scrapbook this whole weekend,so much fun!I hope Martine is ready for it :D
In my next post,i will share some toots with you,yay!
Thanks for looking,happy scrapping!

photoswap time!

So i did two photoswaps,one on SIS and one with my awesome friend Roberta!

This is the layout i made for SIS Amy Gleason.I used the OLW Ready for this one.I pimped up her picture,hope she likey!Such a gorgeous shot...And eventhough i am not good in scrapping action pictures,i had a lot of fun with this one!!

This was my first random photoswap.I only swapped with friends before,so i hope she will like it.This is the layout for Roberta a.k.a. ladybastard.She is totally Kawaii in every single way...Love her,and i hope she likes this!!I def. had fun playing with her awesome picture and all the cute Kawaii stuff :)And last but not least(I hope...hihi),my retro page.Wanted to keep it simple and focus on the picture.I used my sewing machine again,yay!!!So good to have him back...

I took a little break from the unpacking.It was getting so frustrating,i will continue with it tomorrow.Today is scrapbooking day...Same as yesterday :)

Gotta tell you something funny.We were in a real hurry getting ready for school(as usual),and as i was putting on Julian's shoe's i was getting really frustrated because i couldn't get them on.Now it's a fact that All Stars are a disaster to get on,especially kids.So when i gave up and took off the shoe,a little play car fell out.I had to laugh out loud!!Crazy kid...Why didn't he say something?Oh well...something nice for the scrapbooks :)

Happy Scrapping!

Pimp my Blog

My blog needed some changes...It was getting way too boring!!So i changed my background(totally luv the lion lady!!)and my banner.I think they match together very well.Maybe one day when i found time to learn photoshop,i can make a professional banner :)

So the last couple of day's i have been unpacking,sorting and moving things in my house.My whole house was filled with boxes and garbage bags.It was so frustrating!!I actually started crying once,because i didn't know where to look for it anymore.There was stuff laying around everywhere!I moved all the boxes to my scrap room,because i needed an empty livingroom.Feels better now!Although i am kinda hiding from my scraproom now...

Luckily i made a layout before all my stuff arrived,so i have something to show you :)

So what i wanted to ask you Scrapbookers...What are your all time favorite Scrapbook brands?

Mine is 100% BamPop,i love all of their stuff!And i can't wait for the new stuff coming out...I also love the amazing ScrapDiary pp,their stuff is so amazing!!!!!But since i am into all the shabby chic stuff now a day's,brands like Melissa Frances and Tim Holtz also catch my eye.

Well thanks for looking and Happy scrapping!

carnaval 2009

Went for the retro look...Played with Gesso on top,i'm addicted to it.Not the most charming picture(I look like a man!!),but hey...I scrap it all! I am feeling kinda sick...I have this nasty cold,think i got it from my kids.Such a bummer since the weather is soooo nice!

We went to the playground yesterday.It was so much fun,untill...Maxim walked away!I totally freaked out because i couldnt find him anymore.And then a mom brought him to me...Such a relief!Hated him at that moment though.It's my own fault i know...I turned around to check on Julian and the next minute when i turned around,Mr.Maxim was gone.Ofcourse they didnt want to play with the same things.Sooo next time its going to be the little playground again!!

Tomorrow my parents are bringing my stuff over.When i moved here,i didn't bring all my stuff...So now it's coming for me!!My house is going to be exploded,that's for sure.I am one of those people that just can't throw away stuff...Now i HAVE too!!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend,happy scrapping!

We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary on the Amelie blog.We are giving away fabulous prizes and are doing some fun challenges.be sure to check it out!

Picture update!

It has been a long time since i updated with some pictures.I didn't have any new ones,because i was too lazy to go outside and take some.(Not afraid to admit it!!) The weather has been terrible,and i can't stand the rain!We didn't do a lot these past day's,but yesterday i needed to go to the city and i brought my camera with me.We went to the skatepark,but unfortunately the graffiti in Lelystad sucks...My boy's look cool anyway :)
